Hi There! My name is Ganesa. Originally from the mid-west, I found may way to sunny San Diego after living one gloomy winter in Seattle. I studied Visual Arts Media and Sound Design at UCSD. My past times include, hanging in cafes, going on hikes and running, listening to/dancing to/and spinning electronic music, reading about nutrition, and traveling. I am currently planning a trip to London...

Ganesa's unit in Pacific Beach is in an ideal location. Very convenient parking in back and a few blocks from the beach. She was excellent with her communication before, during and after our stay. As a first time AirBnB user, she made the experience very pleasant. Great price for the neighborhood with convenient access to San Diego attractions!

My boyfriend and I came to San Diego looking for jobs and needed a place to stay for more than a few weeks. Weeks before we arrived Ganesa and I had been in contact to work something out. She went above and beyond to make sure that we could stay at her place for more than a few weeks. She also recommended areas for apartment hunting, great restaurants to eat at and some areas to look for jobs. She made our stay comfortable and very enjoyable. If we needed anything she was a phone call away which was great. Her apartment location is perfect. The place is close to the nightlife but far enough away where it is quiet. Her neighbors were all very friendly. If we come back and need a place to stay I will definitely be contacting Ganesa!

I stayed here with my husband and 2 kids (aged 5 and 1) for 2 nights.
A great little cottage, very clean with private drive.
Location good with playground a 1 minute walk away and close to shops and takeout. About a 5 minute drive to the beach and 10-15 minutes to La Jolla.
Didn't meet Ganesa but communication was quick and easy.

We stayed here over the Holiday, 2014 break. We thoroughly enjoyed the place. My wife, daughter and I found the 2 bedroom home to be cozy yet large enough to more than meet our needs. Ganesa was highly responsive to the few questions we had and made sure everything was perfect upon our arrival. George

Our visit in going Ganesa home was perfect. The place was immaculate. She left us snacks which were delicious. My daughter and son and I had a wonderful reunion in this cute little house. My son lives close by.I would definitely stay here again. This was my first experience with air B&B. I will continue to book with the service if all the places are as wonderful as this one. Ganesa left very explicit directions. I actually talked with her on the phone and she is a very personable person..

Ganesa's unit is as advertised - good location and comfortable beds! She was very accommodating to our last minute reservation and left muffins and bananas for breakfast. We were very happy with our stay!

This was our first AirBnB experience and thanks to Ganesa, it certainly won't be our last. From the moment that she accepted our (last minute) reservation, we felt welcomed in Ganesa's home. She had a great understanding of our situation (we were in San Diego to find an apartment for our upcoming move). She gave great advice about the neighborhoods and places to grab food nearby. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to meet Ganesa in person, but we wished we could have. As soon as we got in our rental car, we received a text from Ganesa that there was an unfortunate sewage issue on the entire section of the street and the whole bathroom was out of commission. We understand that sometimes things come up like this, so there was so reason to overreact or be irrational. She warned us that the plumbers would be over soon after our arrival and that her neighbor would be supervising the work. Above all else we appreciated her attention to the issue and the fact that she let us keep our reservation (our previous reservation in OB was canceled due to serious plumbing issues). Ganesa went above and beyond in resolving the problem. The plumbers ended up having to do a lot of work and staying for a while, but we didn't have any problems for the rest of our stay. Even the plumbers (and of course, Ganesa's neighbor) were offering great advice about neighborhoods that would best suit us and restaurants with the best seafood, tacos, and craft beer. Speaking of craft beer, we were thrilled to see that when we got into the house there were two different types of local IPA in the fridge waiting for us. There were also tasty chips, coffee, and more things we needed (like coffee filters, salt, pepper, and olive oil). She read our profile and actually paid attention! The house was very clean and comfortable. Ganesa did inform us that she was switching cable companies, so there would be no tv. Luckily, we have the same taste in TV and movies. She has a pretty good collection of TV series and movies hat we enjoyed, plus the Vons (grocery store) is only a couple of minutes away (even walking wouldn't take long) and there is a Redbox there. If you want to save some money and cook, this is the place to stay. If you want to go out to dinner every night, this is the place to stay. If you want a host that truly cares about your SD experience, this is the place to stay. If you are coming with no car, this is the place to stay. Renting a car? Stay here...there's a really convenient parking spot in the back. Renting a van or SUV? Still stay here...but I would park out front on the street. Rooms were great. Closet space was great. Neighbors were great. Area is convenient and centrally located. Best of all, Ganesa is simply...

Reviews From Hosts

Ganesa was easy to communicate with and a wonderful guest! At the end of her trip she took the sheets off the bed and left a sweet note! I so appreciated her kind gesture! I hope Ganesa will visit again sometime!

Ganesa and her friend were lovely guests. They were very gracious about a couple little details that we overlooked due to busy schedules. We appreciated their patience. Also, they left the room spotless and even made the bed! We would have them back any time and would recommend them to any host.

I'm delighted to provide a strong reference for Ganesa! We met about three years ago when I moved into her spare room in her adorable beach-side cottage. We began as roommates, but soon a friendship developed; one that continues to strengthen and grow.
I don't have the space here to fully articulate what an amazing host/friend Ganesa is, so I'll just try to hit the major points:
She's honest and level-headed. She's thoughtful and considerate. She has an amazing sense of humor, a deep well of stories, and an uncanny ability to communicate clearly and kindly. I've always found her extremely easy to get along with and she keeps things real.
As for her cottage, it's the quintessential beach nook. Roomy, yet intimate. Super cute, with vintage details here and there. The location is fabulous. It's close enough to bike or walk everywhere in PB but not too close to the action to be obnoxious when you want to relax. I loved living there, and I'm sure you'll find the house (and Ganesa) just as charming as I did.
